MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023026 A) filed by Source Good Food Tech Private Limited, Maharashtra, on Feb. 26, for 'system and method for infant cry detection with mutual device health monitoring, and multi-mode alert signalling.'

Inventor(s) include N. S Sreekanth; Govind Diwakar; Vivek Ram M J; Sreya C; Akhil Babu; Dr Krishnakumar Diwakar; and Prof K K Saju.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for intelligent infant cry detection and caregiver alerting with enhanced communication reliability and fail-safe monitoring. The system comprises an infant monitoring unit (100) including a microphone (101), a digital signal processing module (303), and a pre-trained machine learning model (304) configured to detect and classify infant cries in real time. Upon detection of a cry event, a control unit (306) generates a critical alert packet and transmits the same through a wireless communication module (307) to a wearable parent alerting unit (200). The parent alerting unit (200) includes a wireless receiver (401), an alert processor (403), a vibration motor (205, 405), and a visual indication module (202) to notify a caregiver through tactile and visual feedback. The system further implements a mutual health-check mechanism wherein the infant monitoring unit (100) and the wearable parent alerting unit (200) periodically exchange health-report packets and acknowledgments to verify connectivity. A multi-LED signalling system (102, 202) provides distinct visual indications for operational, alert, and emergency conditions. An optional repeater unit extends communication range by forwarding alert packets and confirmations, thereby ensuring reliable delivery of infant cry alerts under varying connectivity conditions."
